By DRONELIFE Workers Author Ian M. Crosby

ROCK RoboticsDeveloper {of professional} survey grade LiDAR know-how, R3 and R3 PRO systems, the most recent LiDAR mapping options. The R3 product line combines superior {hardware} elements in a light-weight, built-in 3D level cloud assortment device. R3 is an intuitive, end-to-end LiDAR resolution that may combine into ROCK Robotic’s complete LiDAR method.

“The ROCK R3 PRO is an enormous step ahead for ROCK Robotic,” mentioned Harrison Knoll, CEO of ROCK Robotic. “It affords higher accuracy, higher SLAM, a greater digital camera, a lighter payload – mainly a greater all-around product. Not solely will our present clients find it irresistible, however R3 is newcomers who need an important {hardware} product with our nice software program and help.” We’re assured that it’s going to entice clients.”

The ROCK R3 sequence options cutting-edge know-how comparable to a geodetic-grade GNSS receiver and tactical-grade IMU. The machine is supplied with a removable 26MP digital camera for prime decision RGB picture seize. The R3 makes use of a Hesai Pandar XT16 sensor, whereas the R3 PRO affords the superior Hesai Pandar XT32 sensor. The answer weighs simply 1.26 kg (2.77 lb) in comparison with the 1.70 kg (3.74 lb) of its predecessor, the ROCK 360 system. The R3 additionally offers non-obligatory superior SLAM capabilities for mapping on the bottom and in areas with weak GNSS indicators.

“We wish gear and mapping professionals to have the only workflow and get the most effective outcomes and output,” mentioned Knoll. “From the second you fly your drone to the second you ship the merchandise to your buyer, ROCK makes it as straightforward as potential. With the not too long ago launched ROCK Desktop software program, the R3 system and the ROCK Cloud post-processing software program, we have all of the fundamentals. ROCK positively stands out as a key participant within the LiDAR area. popping out.”
